that it was the death and all. What about it?"
"Well, the whole reason I was acting out of it was because I was thinking hard about something. That something was that while we were at Lucy's house, I saw the exact same image on her computer screen. It was on the tip of my tongue to say something, but at the time being I didn't think that it was a big deal. Now, after seeing this, there must be a connection somehow."

"Wow. So there must have been somebody in the house this time and in the house when Lucy was killed."
"Yeah, that's exactly what we should think, but we searched the whole house and we didn't find one shred of evidence leaning towards somebody else being in there. No fingerprints, no nothing. I'm afraid we might find the same here as we did there."

Dennis then broke down crying. Ramsey added to his notebook to talk to Roger depending on how the dusting came out.
"All right Dennis, that's all I need from you. Why don't you head back home and I'll get in touch with you as soon as I find something out."
For the first time Dennis looked Ramsey straight in the eyes, and asked, "What more is there to find out?"
